7. MOUNTING OF DETECTOR Selection of mounting location Detector mounting location, i.e., the conditions of the pipe subjected to flow rate measurement exert a great influence on measurement accuracy. So select a location meeting the conditions listed below. (1) There is a straight pipe portion of 10D or more on the upstream side and that of 5D or more on the downstream side. - Page 31 (3) Pipe is always filled with fluid. Neither air bubbles nor foreign materials are contained in the fluid. (4) There is an ample maintenance space around the pipe to which the detector is to be mounted (see figure below). Note 1) Secure an adequate space for allowing a person to stand and work on both sides of a pipe. Note 2) D indicates the inside diameter of a pipe.

Q & A about pipes 1. How is piping setting made when piping specifications are unknown ? Flow rate can be measured within the range of the specifications of PORTAFLOW X by entering the standard value, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. - Page 102 3. What happens when the liquid contains air bubbles ? PORTAFLOW-X is highly resistant to 12 12 entry of air bubbles in pipes with the aid of the advanced ABM system as shown Advanced ABM system below. Existing system 0.03 0.02 0.02 [vol.%]...
- Page 103 2. What about error factors ? On PORTAFLOW X, ultrasonic waves are emitted from the outside of the piping and the time is measured while the waves are passing through the piping material - fluid - piping material. The following points become the error factors to be considered when evaluating the measured values.
- Page 104 Although thermometers and pressure gauges can easily be calibrated at a site, flowmeters are generally very difficult to calibrate at a site. Therefore, PORTAFLOW X is often used for checking other flowmeters. After checking, the result of comparison of flowmeters should be evaluated with care while considering to the following points.
- Page 105 PORTAFLOW X is designed to measure the velocity with ultrasonic waves passing through piping. As it measures an average velocity in the piping, it measures flow rate highly accurately.
